Une Rose

What's not to love about this? It's a fresh, dewy, youthful, aromatic, effervescent rose that really comes to life on skin. I've been going down a rose rabbit hole for the past couple of weeks, trying every rose-forward fragrance I can get my hands on and this one really stands out. Une Rose is not dark and domineering like Radical Rose from Matiere Premiere. It's not fragile and introverted like Eau Rose EdT by Diptyque. It's not sexy-spicy in the way Rose of No Man's Land is to my nose, or soapy-sweet like the (slightly dated) Rose Pompon. It's uplifting, happy, energetic, playful and simple in the best way. The first line of the copy reads: "At dawn I was born baptized with dew." However overtly dramatic this may sound, like something from an LA surfer's memoir, who has had one too many edibles, that is truly what this smells like: waking up with the sunrise, the air is cool, the flowers are flowering and you feel like the day is yours; all of yesterday's shit forgotten. Longevity? 7 hours on skin, and the rose stays put till the end. I'm a fan.

This is so good!!! I'm getting a sweet, spicy, powdery musk with a rose buried in the heart. This makes me think of an updated version of the original Commes de Garcons, which is a spicy incense rose. Interestingly, my full bottle has more of the pepper note than my sample from two years ago--I prefer the extra woody pepper, so that was a pleasant surprise! The cardamom is perfectly placed, bringing together the pepper and sweetness. The rose is not too floral, it behaves more like a sweet, fruity, musk, which makes the fragrance so easy to wear. I am a little surprised that this fragrance is called Une Rose because it certainly doesn't smell like a typical rose fragrance. I am so happy with this! It's vegan, sustainable, and very affordable for a niche fragrance. This might be my new signature scent! 5/5!!!

I continue to be impressed by this house; every scent is so wearable yet so thoughtful and beautifully blended. I think perhaps it's the geranium, but it almost smells like rose and carrots; it's weirdly rosey, mealy, rooty, fresh, aromatic, and sweet (bordering on jammy even) all at once and every time I smell it, I get something new. Actually as I am thinking about it, when people describe rose as smelling artichoke-y, it's exactly this. This is textbook artichoke (and maybe even some dill) rose. It's uncomplicated, but complex, and smells like a luxury hotel (maybe there's an unlisted sandalwood note in here, bc that's what usually gives me that impression).

I love this perfume so much. I got it a few months ago, and I instantly adored it. It starts off as a fresh, citrus scent that eventually dries down into a sweet rose fragrance with hints of pink pepper that add a slight sharpness to it. It’s truly a beautiful fragrance that has become one of my favourites. The longevity is decent too, as I can get about 5 hours out of this; however, the sillage is slightly weak, which I was slightly disappointed by. Overall, I definitely recommend getting this, but you might want to layer it if you want something stronger.

Does anyone get a Delina Exclusif vibe minus the sharp oud and the pear? I love this fragrance because I love the rose in Delina Exclusif but the pear and the oud give me a headache. Although I love fragrances with pear... But this here is beautiful, it smells amazing and you can really enjoy a soft rose in this fragrance.
